This 2 day event is dedicated to letting go of the old and making space for the new. Lower Merion Public Works Complex will be hosting a free collection day for refuse and recyclables - household appliances, textiles, plastic, glass, newsprint, and plain old trash.
Neighborhood Bike Works will be there to accept used bicycles and bicycle parts. We need your help to give them a new home. The children's bikes we collect will be used in our Earn-A-Bike classes for youth and adult bikes will be available for sell in our shop. All of the proceeds go towards keeping our programs free and affordable to the community.
Volunteer tasks:
Help collect/inventory the bikes, take off pedals/turn handlebars, and load them into the van.
We need volunteers to commit to participating in at least one shift for one day of the weekend. You are more than welcome to volunteer the whole day and/or the entire weekend with us.
Morning Shift: 9am-1pm
Afternoon Shift: 1:00pm-4pm
Please email us to sign up.

Mission Statement
The mission of Neighborhood Bike Works is to inspire youth and strengthen Philadelphia communities by providing equitable access to bicycling and bike repair through education, recreation, leadership and career-building opportunities.
Description
OUR WORK
We run a suite of youth and adult programs all designed to encourage more people to ride and maintain their bikes. Our work uses bikes to bring about positive change: personal growth, community building, and learning.
In addition to running year-round programs for youth, NBW also opens its space to adults and families. At our Community Bike Shop, we sell quality refurbished used bikes, new parts, and accessories. You can stop into the Community Bike Shop to test ride a refurbished bike or grab a new lock, helmet, or another accessory. For lifelong learners, we run Bike Church, a DIY bike shop and an Adult Bike Repair Class. All sales in our shop support our free and low-cost programs.
